The film follows a group of women as they participate in the 150 Hours Courses, an educational experiment implemented in Italy beginning in 1974. Though initially only available to factory workers and farmers, the film shows how the programme expanded to include women, most of whom were housewives. The film was produced in collaboration with these students and their mentor, Lea Melandri (feminist, activist and writer), turning the curriculum’s questions about the representation of women into questions about, and attempts at, self-narration.
